Thanks, John. One other odd thing you might find interesting: On the bank of the main channel, 3-4 feet from the water's edge and more than 12" above water level, there was a large pile of fish...
Well, things change quickly here in SE Idaho. Tried the same place today as last week but luck was way different. It was about 20 degrees cooler today than last Friday and mostly cloudy so I...
Never caught a fish on a streamer, a wooley bugger or a foam ant or beetle. I've tried them all but no takers yet....
Since John Scott moved (Hi, John, hope all is well with you!) we're not seeing many posts about action on the South Fork so I thought I would recount my visit there Friday afternoon. Got there about...
Thanks, everyone who responded. Lamiglas referred me to Anglers Workshop and they did some checking and even walked across the parking lot to Lamiglas with some pictures I took but after all is said...
I have a 9' 2 pc 5 wt Lamiglas Esprit Graphite rod that a friend gave me about 10 years ago. Because I have a couple of Sage rods I just haven't used it but my son wants to start fly fishing and I...
I don't know the fly fishing streams in that area very well but I would expect he will stay pretty close to Portland. Maybe the Deschutes, Wilson, Clackamas, Molalla, Trask, etc. Probably the...
Hi, all. My oldest son lives in the Porland area of Oregan. He has bait/spin fished all his life as he was growing up here in Idaho but, because I got into fly fishing after he was already married...
By the way, Happy Birthday!!
Hi, John. I've been following and enjoying your posts. A friend at work told me today he and his buddy are the two fellows you ran into up on Birch Creek yesterday. He said he had 41 in hand. He...
So, I figured out why the ends (at least 1 of them) came unfurled a little, besides removing the paper clips. I wanted to use 2 different colors so I built 2 completely separate sides rather than...
Well, after studying up on making furled leaders I made a jig tonight and furled 3 5' leaders with my cordless drill--2 out of Danville 210 and 1 out of 2# mono--all 10/6/4, mostly for my recently...
I'd like to learn this, too. Can you please post the instructions or send a PM? Thanks.

I've had my Disk Drag Battenkill for my 5 wt rod for 9 years and really like it. I just got a 3 wt and immediately bought a new BBS for it. Can't go wrong.
Dennis
Thanks to all who have shared the benefit of their experience. The fraternity of fly-fishers is truly awesome, especially here on this BB!! Your collective advice makes good sense. And it's...
Sorry if this seems like a dumb question. I would really like to build my PERFECT fly rod. I've never built one before but I've been reading all about it and I know I can do it. However, my...
Yup, BBS II (titanium color) with Rio Selective Trout II XS WF3F. Should feel right at home on that rod....
Dennis
You are correct! A handsome one, too. And today I bought a new reel and line for my wife to give me ;)
Dennis
Pretty cool, John. Very nicely done....
Congratulations, Bernie! Our best Christmas present is that we got a new grandson this morning, born a week early in Boise, 7# 11oz and 20 1/2 inches, both he and mom doing great. He is # 14. ...
There have been days I've caught fish on the Henry's (above Ashton Dam, Ora Bridge, Fun Farm). First fish on the Henry's was at Harriman above Vernon Bridge about 9 years ago. But more often than...
Hi, Lew. I live about a mile and a half east of where the Burgess enters the Snake and I've always wondered how it would fish today but have never tried it. I used to walk in Freeman park and saw...
Thanks for the reply, Tim. Maybe we were neighbors! We lived on Lambourne Av. and there was a park (Evergreen Park??) south of us near a library on Evergreen Av. between 23rd and 27th East about...
You're doing it right, Jeff. My 3 sons are all grown, married and gone now. They're great kids and we're close and we have a great time when we get together but one of my great regrets is that I...
